  1. Just for you Steve thompson england hooker i believe...
  2. Have a look on the tyre if it says re40 or re50 they are basically the oem tyre. What is the best tyre is up for for discussion! Bridgestones are good but not cheap re50 are the newer model and considered a lot better. Blackcircles.com is a a good place to start. Pretty user friendly and you can order and pay for fitting at a local supplier all online. Other brands of tyre worth considering include vredstien, falken, continental, toyo and many more. Have a look in the subforum for recomendations or there are many tyre review sites. But if you are wanting to stay same on all four youll need to know exactly which bridgestones you have. Remember you tend to get what you pay for

    mmmmm exhausts....

    Exhaust

    You may be able to find a second hand one that will do. There are also many people on here with aftermarket ones like scorpion which may work out cheaper than a new nissan one. Tarmac has just started stocking Cobra exhausts. You can pick the tip so you should be able to find one that at least looks oem ish. Remember if you do go aftermarket you should let your insurer know

    Genuine N/S/F Wing

    hes often got parts in Or at least may be able to help.
  6. Welcome to the forum. Get along to a meet and say hello oooh...oooohh First time ive got to use that before someone else.... yes I know its sad

    DEBBIE'S GONE

    I'm with the Maserati. Though Jaguar is another posibility.
  8. Welcome to the forum. Thats a realistic budget expectation. Keep an eye on the zeds for sale section
  9. Unfortunatly i think due to the processes involved you may be hard pushed to find many places that do it. Try classic car restoration places or yank restoration places they may be able to help. found these on google but no idea what they are like. http://www.ashfordchroming.com/ http://www.chromeplatingservices.co.uk/
  10. I hope i just need a good drive out. irrespective i want to do the great alpine road before i go for a shed.
  11. We are in 'mill with pete. wasnt exactly a masterclass but a win is a win
  12. Premium bose system had a sub and amp was in the boot. Not all models had it so if yours didnt you may need a bit of kit to fit one inc hu and it may be easier to buy an aftermarket head unit. You do see the Bose systems for sale occasionally but most folks dont rate them. If you really want to get one im sure some on the forum will have one in their shed i imagine. But i would have a look in the ice section for some advice
  13. So.. i need to clean and wash the car. Then cover the missus in marmite and take her out in to the countryside for a good ride. Cool now i just need the car back

    zito astro's?

    They are on wheelbase at a similar price. And on zito uk website that design isnt there so it may be that it is the end of the line stock being sold cheap. Made in Taiwan. And that is very cheap tho so i would be a little nervous. http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/18_Inch_ ... eels__3166
  15. Mines a 53 but only on 46k. So plenty of life in the old girl still.
  16. Ill suggest it to the missus and send you her response
  17. With my zed After brake/hub fiasco and now back in the bodyshop i must admit im starting to wonder what im doing. So far this year once all the bits turn up im going to be 2k down and i have hardly had her off the drive. Im working out year on year spend is in the 2k area so - maybe i should ditch for a classic? Really doubting myself.. so Ive ordered some carbon to see if that cheers me up. Anyone else question their sanity sometimes!!
  18. Ancilary belts are an easy job and relativly cheap. Charge will depend on labour rate but it should not be expensive. There is a guide on the forum iirc and traders in here like alex sell parts so you can source yourself. Brake disc wise it is entirely up to you. There are many options from EBC which are cheaper aftermarket with Performance Friction and the likes at the pricy end. DBA are sort of in the middle and are well used on the forum. Pad wise again there are a lot of choices. I experimented with Cosworth from Horsham dev but lots of folks run Ferodo and again at the budget end but still fine are EBC. Have a browse through the Traders section for guys like cougar store, horsham, MW tec and many more and try PM ing Zmanalex as well (see member traders).
  19. Tissue paper and spit i think given how easy they dent.

    Downforce

    Looks like an enlarged version of the sort of spoiler you saw on the back of old Hyundi coupe's. Well the added weight will add downforce. And at least they wont have to worry about every else having the same spoiler!
  21. Decat pipe? But the rubber looks fine and the wire has rotted by the looks. Weird! There are a host of aftermarket y pipes depending on your budget. My guess would be flexys make it easier to fit and will help reduce vibrations.
  22. Ive heard some silver bulbs are better than others. Unfortunatly tho im not sure what would be best to get. Alex is worth a shot for the front lip air dam strip.
